Our history
The great importance that aromatic plants have always held in the kitchen – adding flavour, aroma and vibrancy to dishes – prompted Paolo Biasio to set up a farm in 1973 specialising in the production of aromatic herbs for culinary use. With passion and dedication, he ran it until 1996, when his son Luca took over, transforming it into the L’AROMATICA Farm and thus carrying on not only the business but also the family’s deep passion for these ‘herbs of health’.
Since its inception, the company has set itself the goal of bringing to the consumer the finest sensations and pleasures that only a product made to the highest quality standards can convey.
This is precisely why L’AROMATICA has obtained GLOBAL GAP certification, the leading international body for the certification of agricultural products. This standard sets out rigorous criteria throughout the entire production chain – from sowing to cultivation, from harvesting to packaging and on to distribution – ensuring traceability, food safety, the responsible use of resources, environmental protection and respect for workers’ health and safety.
Today, the company covers a total area of 12 hectares: 10 hectares of nursery land spread across the sites in Maserà di Padova and the Albenga plain in Liguria, and 2 hectares of greenhouses, both heated and unheated. It also has a 1,000 m² processing warehouse, 300 m² of which is refrigerated, and three automated packaging lines, ensuring efficiency and quality throughout the entire production process. For over fifty years, L'AROMATICA has been producing high-quality aromatic herbs for Mediterranean cuisine, available both fresh in pots and cut and packaged in special containers for immediate use. Its main customers are large-scale retail trade (GDO), restaurants, and wholesalers, both in Italy and abroad. To cultivate its herbs, the company has chosen to invest in two fundamental resources offered by nature: sun and water. Renewable energy systems have been installed, such as solar thermal systems for heating greenhouses and photovoltaic systems for generating electricity used throughout the production process. On the water front, a 300,000-liter underground tank has been built to collect rainwater, which is then used for irrigation through highly efficient pumping, filtering, and micro-irrigation systems.
The company's dream is to further expand production, exploring new areas of food and beverage, with the goal of consolidating an increasingly recognizable multifunctional identity. The commitment is to offer a product in every format, meticulously crafted, constantly evolving, and subject to ongoing quality control. Quality, sustainability, and responsibility are its guiding values: the goal is to convey to consumers not only the product's excellence, but also the company's genuine commitment to environmental protection, respect for workers, and animal welfare.
Let us learn from history so that we can continue to make history.
The brand
The CuciniAMO con LE AROMATICHE brand was launched in 2010 based on an idea by Luca Biasio, son of the founder Paolo and the company’s current manager: his deep passion for these plants led him to create the CuciniAMO con LE AROMATICHE brand with the aim of revolutionising the flavour of every single dish, making it unique and inimitable. It doesn’t matter whether you’re cooking a traditional dish or a fusion dish; what matters is the quality of the ingredients!
When you buy a product from the CuciniAMO con LE AROMATICHE range, you are choosing unmistakable quality; born of the love, passion and unparalleled care that our company strives to convey every single day. CuciniAMO con LE AROMATICHE acts as a guide for customers, helping them make an informed choice when purchasing and consuming a product that is fresh, natural and 100% Italian.
In order to best preserve the qualities of our produce, whilst maintaining its organoleptic characteristics and nutritional value, we harvest, pack and deliver our produce on the same day, thereby guaranteeing the freshness of every single potted or cut plant we sell.
L'Isola degli Aromi Bio
The “Cuciniamo con le Aromatiche” brand also includes Isola degli Aromi Bio, an organic farm that produces fresh cut herbs. It was founded in 2018 and is run by Christian Biasio.
